Dear Friends of the Fair:
A computerized survey taken during the 1993 State Fair confirms the Importance of
farm, food and fun to the Fair. Nearly 20 percent of respondents, 18 years of age and
older, chose food as the primary reason for visiting the fair. In addition, 19 percent of
those surveyed selected agricultural and livestock exhibits for their primary reason for
attending. The midway garnered 14 percent. Hobbies and handicrafts had 8 percent
and the Flower Show nearly 4 percent.
The State Fair attracts people who want to see what you, as an exhibitor, entered.
Your effort and hard work are noticed and are appreciated. This survey did not
attempt to address the many people who enjoy the exhibits as a non-primary reason
to attend the Fair.
Your State Fair remains an event that has strong representation from all social and
economic strata. Many fairgoers attend every year, some attending several days per
year. And attendance Is from across the state and even out of state.
We are sensitive to the input of these and all of our friends. We hope to maintain a
focus on agricultural subjects and family entertainment, yet staying contemporary in
style and content. I encourage your participation and solicit your help In doing so.
Please join us at the 1994 North Carolina State Fair opening Friday, October 14 and
closing Sunday, October 23. The theme of this, the 127th edition of the State Fair is
"Got A Good Thing Growing!"
Sincerely,

[ NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR HISTORY
The first State Fair was founded in October. 1853 by the State Agricultural Society. One of the earliest resolutions approved was that
the Society sponsor a cattle show and an exhibition of domestic manufacturers. It was planned to offer premiums to farmers who developed
better practices for crop improvement, or designed and built more effective implements. Immediately plans were underway toward the first
State Fair to spread constructive agricultural information.
The site for the first fair was a 16-acre tract about 10 blocks east of the Capitol in Raleigh. In the Raleigh Register, the city's weekly
newspaper, a week before the big event "... the entrance fee at the gate will be 25 cents for a single person, and $ 1 for a carriage; and 50 cents
for a buggy." The City of Raleigh contributed $25.00 toward the fair and receipts amounted to 53,000. Estimated attendance was four to six
thousand. It was highly successful. An editorial appearing in the Raleigh Register Sunday morning October 22, 1853 , allowed that:
"Nearly every section of the State, and every industrial pursuit within its borders, were represented. The East sent its fine staples and its
blooded stock, the West its splendid cattle and its rich minerals. The fanner poured in his agricultural products, the mechanic brought forward
splendid specimens of his skill, the native artist exhibited the productions of his pen or his pencil, and the ladies of the State, never behind
in any good work or beneficient object crowned the excellence of the whole with the multiplied beauties which nature had yielded to their
culture, and the varied and tasteful attractions which had sprung their handicraft."
The fair was moved in 1873 to what was then described as a "55 acre broom sage tleld comprising an eminence known as 'Cook's Hill
on Hillsboro Road some 300 yards from the N.C. and Augusta Air Line Railroad, one and one-quarter miles west of the city limits of Raleigh."
This is now a residential and business district across from the campus of N.C. State University. The Raleigh Little TTieatre now occupies the
site.
The Agricultural Society developed these grounds at a cost of more than $50,000. The buildings consisted of a three-story octagon-shaped
exhibit hall. 250 feet long and 44 feet deep. There were two wings designed as Fanners and Mechanics Halls. A 200 x 44 foot shed housed
the machinery display and a three-story grandstand, judges' stand and one-half mile of railroad tracks completed the permanent structures.
The offices and dressing rooms were on the first floor of the grandstand. The second deck was the spectators' area, and the third floor was
called "Tete-a-Tete Hall" where one could enjoy a chair and privacy for an extra 25 cents.
By 1885 the Agricultural Society's show and exhibition had become the main annual event among rural Tar Heels.
Politics and reunions were a big part of the fair in 1903. Confederate veterans gathered at the fair and reminisced the big battles and hard
;,times of "65 and "66.
13
President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to fairgoers in 1905 and was followed in 1907 by William Jennings Bryan. Speech-making was
another major attraction of early fairs. Bryan, the famed "silver-tongued" orator, had already delivered his famous cross of gold speech and
lost two elections. His address to North Carolinians undoubtedly was part of his third unsuccessful race presidency.
The Agricultural Society conducted the State Fair for 73 years. It was discontinued from 1860 through 1866 during the Civil War and
Reconstruction period, and in 1918 during World War I and influenza epidemic. The fair yielded in 1884 to a monthlong "North Carolina
Exposition" held on the fairgrounds.
In 1924 the society requested aid from the state and City of Raleigh. The first State Fair Board was appointed by Governor McLean in
1925 with representatives from the State, City and Agricultural Society. After this, the society disbanded. There was no State Fair in 1926
and 1927. The late Governor J. Melville Broughton succeeded in convincing the Legislature to designate 200 acres of land to the State Fair.
Thus, the State Fair moved in 1928 to its present site with additional land granted in 1952 .
The State Fair was placed under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture in 1930. The various committees continued to operate
the fair until 1933 when the Board of Agriculture leased the fair to George Hamid for operation on a commercial basis.
The late Governor W. Kerr Scott returned the State Fair to the management of the Department of Agriculture in 1937 when he took office
as commissioner of agriculture. That year in excess of $12,000 was paid out in educational exhibitor premiums, and by 1948 this figure had
reached more than $70,000. Currently the figure exceeds $240,000.
Dr. J.S. Dorton of Shelby was appointed manager of the new State Fair, Division of the Department of Agriculture, in 1937. Immediately
the fair was no longer a burden and showed a profit of over $8,000. The profits have increased yearly and have been turned back into i
improvements for buildings and grounds. '
It was in 1948 when entertainment became a big part of the State Fair. James E. Strates Shows has been a regular feature since that time
and during this same year Bascom Lamar Lunsford brought the first Folk Festival, a feature that is still going strong.
The N.C. General Assembly approved funds in the late 40's for construction of a year-round facility to serve agriculture, industry,
commerce and the general welfare of the state. This center for educational, inspirational and recreational events was completed in 1952 and
named the J.S. Dorton Arena. The arena's unique architectural design won it acclaim as one of the significant structures of recent times.
Dr. Dorton died in 1961 and state Agriculture Commissioner L.Y. Ballentine assumed his duties until his death in 1964. It was in 1961
that the fair operated six days for the first time. Robert W. Shoffner, an assistant manager of the fair from 1947 to 1960 was appointed by
James A. Graham to complete production of the '64 fair. Arthur K. Pitzer was named permanent manager in January, 1965 by Commissioner
Graham.
Under guidance of Graham, the N.C. Board of Agriculture, Pitzer's management and experienced staff the fair has continued to grow
and today is considered one of the leading agricultural, industrial and educational fairs in the nation. In 1968 the Board of Agriculture
approved extending the fair's length to nine days beginning in 1969. This set the stage for the 1970's, which was to be a decade of significant
growth.
Four new structures were completed: The Gov. Kerr Scott Building (1972), Crafts Pavilion (1974), Livestock Building (1975) and
Forestry Resources Center (1976). An ambitious grounds improvement program of landscaping, paving, curbing and guttering was
implemented. Work was also begun on Heritage Circle, an area near the fairgrounds lake set aside to highlight cultural history of the state.
One of the first Heritage Circle projects was an authentic 18th century school house donated in 1975 .
A program of popular special exhibits was inaugurated. In 1972 the fair sponsored the world's largest space-related educational exhibit
which was viewed by an estimated 250,000 people. A series of exhibits highlighting different N.C. field commodities each year stirred new
interest and pride in the state's agricultural tradition, particularly among the non-farming public.
Several programs motivated in part by economic concerns of fairgoers were also initiated. In 1970 senior citizens were admitted to the
fair free of charge. The same year the Century Farm Families program was launched.
Efforts to speak to the wishes of the fairgoers paid off handsomely at the gate. Attendance averaged 570,000 in the 1970's. In 1976 the
nine-day event, highlighted with a visit by President Gerald Ford, was attended by 587,000 despite several days of cold and rain. An all-time
attendance mark of more than 705,002 was set in 1987.
The State Fair and grounds operate on a year-round basis. There are 46 permanent employees, 31 of which are maintenance personnel.
Non-fairtime utilization of buildings and grounds increased dramatically in the 1970's as new sales initiatives by management and a
complex of new facilities consisting of the Kerr Scott Building (exhibit hall), the Jim Holshouser Building (crafts pavilion) and Jim Graham
Building (livestock pavilion) made the fairgrounds an active center for entertainment, meetings, expositions and agriculture shows.
The 1978 North Carolina Legislature authorized funds used by the fair to purchase an additional 144 acres of land adjacent to the grounds.
The acquisition brought the fairgrounds to 344 total acres.
President George Herbert Walker Bush addressed fairgoers on October 21, 1992.
In 1983, Sam G. Rand was named fair manager succeeding Art Pitzer who retired. A new horse facility (Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr. Horse
Complex) was opened, housing up to 900 head of horses.
During the years 1984-1993, the following improvements were made: New restroom facilities at Gate 8 and at the Grandstand:
Underground electrical distribution system installed; Refurbishing of permanent lunchstands; New handicapped restrooms in Dorton Arena;
Handicapped parking on fairgrounds; New roof on Scott Building. Graham Building, Dorton Arena, Holshouser Building, Education &
Commercial Building; New roof and seats in Grandstand; Remodeling Hobby & Crafts Building; Remodeling L.R. Harrill Youth Center;
Paving midway area and other parking lots; New outdoor public address system; New storm drainage system; Landscaping around Scott
Building, Holshouser Building, Commercial & Education Building; New box seats in Hunt Horse Complex and new offices and restaurant
addition to Hunt Horse Complex. Renovation of Sam G. Rand Grandstand racetrack to include harness racing; Demolished Industrial and
Poultry Buildings.

dates are set out in the Department Headings and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can get your exhibits
IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be considered abandoned if not called for within
one week after the official closing of the Fair, and may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE SPECIAL RULES
for the Culinary and Horticulture Departments.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair on official printed forms provided for that purpose, before the
closing date for entries in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or considered in the judging until proper
entry has been made. Removal of exhibits before the date and time specified will be cause for forfeit of all premiums won, all fees
paid, and the right to further participation in the Fair.
In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place through the entire fair. Release times are scheduled
for the day following the fair due to the lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or exhibits, and in an effort
to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded conditions. The regulation will also assure those attending the fair during the
evening of the final day of seeing the same exhibits and entries as those attending earlier.
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper department and class and exhibit tag with corresponding
numbers will be issued. This tag must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain on the exhibit throughout the Fair (except
that exhibit tags issued for livestock and poultry may be conspicuously displayed upon the stall, pen or coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL
NOT BE MAILED but will be available, at the Entry Department, Administration Building.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the Department Superintendent or Director who will allocate
space and either personally arrange the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display or direct such action by the exhibitor. The State
Fair assumes no responsibility for the incorrect tagging of exhibits.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of
the annual exposition. However exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: N.C. STATE FAIR, 1 025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD.. RALEIGH.
N.C. 27607, and they will be carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the same manner as previously
described. They will be given the same consideration with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will
be paid by the Fair. Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and properly identified inside and
outside the package as to the department, class and premium number under which they have been previously entered. They should
be shipped or mailed at least a week or 1 days prior to the opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for delayed
shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority over allocation of space, and will have direct
supervision of all exhibits which are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, subject to use as these Directors
and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or which will follow,
must participate in parades and group exhibitions as directed by the Department Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the Junior Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and
pens will be furnished bedding before the Fair free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will be required to furnish their own bedding
and keep all stalls and pens clean. Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given
the exhibitor to serve as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim checks should be guarded carefully,
since Department Superintendents and Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the exhibit tag stub.
If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the
Superintendent of the Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within one week after the close of the Fair will be considered
to have been abandoned by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. Other exhibits, materials therein,
including concession booths, which are not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after the end of the Fair will
be considered to have been abandoned and will become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to
both the exhibitor and the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed objectionable or unsuitable for
exhibition. All entries are accepted conditionally pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any article or animal
which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the
Fair will be denied.
19
Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must report disqualification of entries to the Manager of the
State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED
OFFICIAL AND PREMIUMS PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIRCATION IS RECOMMENDED UNTIL AP-PROVAL
OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise and distribute literature and free samples from their
place of exhibit only, but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a permit from the manager. The
distribution of advertising matter which conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is prohibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the space in and around their exhibits, including
unused space, aisles and roadways, clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit booth and concession stand
must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for
cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the Fair manager.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision ofthe judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence
of fraud or violation of the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent not later than noon of the
day following the award, and must be accompanied by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is
not sustained. The Division Superintendent will appoint a committee to consider the protest and all interested parties will be
notified of the time of the hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The rules of the International Association of Fairs
and Expositions governing appeals will be those of the North Carolina Fair.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its mere presence. It must be individual worthy. It is not
the policy of the Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums equally among exhibitors. No
premium will be awarded to any exhibit that does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO
PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL CLASS. AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except such attendants as are necessary to handle and show
livestock and other such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their adjudications, or who publicly
expresses disapproval of the decision of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums previously won
will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be exposed and exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded
from further participation in the Fair and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the
Department Superintendent or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon which they were awarded, if
possible, but the ribbons have no value in the payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way on to
the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFI-CATION
IS MADE IN THE OFFICE OF. AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE ENTRY
DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries are reclassified. If the records are altered and the entry department files
are not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits
to which they have awarded premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that does not qualify for one of the classes in the State
Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are made as it is possible to compile and check all reports.
Premiums not collected during the Fair will be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office address given on his or her entry form.
Errors in premium statements will be corrected until December 1, 1994 after which time the books of the 1994 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:
Champion Royal Purple
Reserve Champion Lavender

13. No group or individuals may be assigned the same patio garden plot location more than once every three years.
14. The gardens will be judged, based on the following criteria and scale of points:
A. Design of the entire garden 30%
1. Imagination—A resourceful and creative solution to the aspects of design.
2. Composition—Elements arranged in relation to other elements in the garden and in proper relationship to the garden
sequence and focal point, etc.
3. Unity—The arrangement of all the parts of the garden in such a manner that they constitute a whole, or promote an
undivided total effect.
4. Color Harmony—The arrangement of the various hues, shades, and colors to contribute to a pleasing effect and
unified composition.
B. Design of details 20%
1. Construction—Construction of physical features should give the illusion of reality; for example, if it is supposed
to be a deck, arbor, etc., it should look like one, and should be substantial and functional. It should be large enough to
serve the purpose for which it was designed, within the garden space.
2. Planting - Use permanent planting to develop design. Supplement design with annuals, etc. Take growth habits, light and
water requirements into consideration when selecting plant material. Appropriate plant material will be judged both here
and under functional aspects. It will be more important to give the illusion of an established planting than allowing room
for plant material to grow. Consequently, plant material may be grouped together to give the effect of a larger plant.
3. Accessories - Accessories should be suitable to the area designed and should add to the garden, not dominate or detract from it.
4. Finish Detail - Based on how much attention is paid to finishing touches and fine detail; for example, covering pots
thoroughly with mulch, quality finish construction, well crafted plot plans, etc.
C. Suitability to Site 20%
1. Functional aspects - The garden should be able to be used for the purpose designed. Plant material works together in the
area. Physical features serve the purpose intended. Carry your idea all the way through; for example, if you plan a low
maintenance area, choose a design, plant material and accessories with this in mind. Environmental factors should be
taken in to account, such as sun, shade, and wind protection, etc.
2. Maximum usefulness - The area is developed to its full potential and serves the purpose for which it is designed.
3. Walks and paved areas - Walks should be used within a design context to appear to belong. Walks and paved areas
should be wide enough to be useful and suitable for the purpose they are intended to serve. Walks should either have a
destination or disappear with the illusion of a destination (example behind an appropriate screen or planting).
D. Planting 10%
Consideration shall be given to the quality and variety of plant material.
E. Appearance 20%
Consideration will be given to the overall beauty and visual impact of the garden.

Dear Friends of the Fair:
A computerized survey taken during the 1993 State Fair confirms the Importance of
farm, food and fun to the Fair. Nearly 20 percent of respondents, 18 years of age and
older, chose food as the primary reason for visiting the fair. In addition, 19 percent of
those surveyed selected agricultural and livestock exhibits for their primary reason for
attending. The midway garnered 14 percent. Hobbies and handicrafts had 8 percent
and the Flower Show nearly 4 percent.
The State Fair attracts people who want to see what you, as an exhibitor, entered.
Your effort and hard work are noticed and are appreciated. This survey did not
attempt to address the many people who enjoy the exhibits as a non-primary reason
to attend the Fair.
Your State Fair remains an event that has strong representation from all social and
economic strata. Many fairgoers attend every year, some attending several days per
year. And attendance Is from across the state and even out of state.
We are sensitive to the input of these and all of our friends. We hope to maintain a
focus on agricultural subjects and family entertainment, yet staying contemporary in
style and content. I encourage your participation and solicit your help In doing so.
Please join us at the 1994 North Carolina State Fair opening Friday, October 14 and
closing Sunday, October 23. The theme of this, the 127th edition of the State Fair is
"Got A Good Thing Growing!"
Sincerely,

[ NORTH CAROLINA STATE FAIR HISTORY
The first State Fair was founded in October. 1853 by the State Agricultural Society. One of the earliest resolutions approved was that
the Society sponsor a cattle show and an exhibition of domestic manufacturers. It was planned to offer premiums to farmers who developed
better practices for crop improvement, or designed and built more effective implements. Immediately plans were underway toward the first
State Fair to spread constructive agricultural information.
The site for the first fair was a 16-acre tract about 10 blocks east of the Capitol in Raleigh. In the Raleigh Register, the city's weekly
newspaper, a week before the big event "... the entrance fee at the gate will be 25 cents for a single person, and $ 1 for a carriage; and 50 cents
for a buggy." The City of Raleigh contributed $25.00 toward the fair and receipts amounted to 53,000. Estimated attendance was four to six
thousand. It was highly successful. An editorial appearing in the Raleigh Register Sunday morning October 22, 1853 , allowed that:
"Nearly every section of the State, and every industrial pursuit within its borders, were represented. The East sent its fine staples and its
blooded stock, the West its splendid cattle and its rich minerals. The fanner poured in his agricultural products, the mechanic brought forward
splendid specimens of his skill, the native artist exhibited the productions of his pen or his pencil, and the ladies of the State, never behind
in any good work or beneficient object crowned the excellence of the whole with the multiplied beauties which nature had yielded to their
culture, and the varied and tasteful attractions which had sprung their handicraft."
The fair was moved in 1873 to what was then described as a "55 acre broom sage tleld comprising an eminence known as 'Cook's Hill
on Hillsboro Road some 300 yards from the N.C. and Augusta Air Line Railroad, one and one-quarter miles west of the city limits of Raleigh."
This is now a residential and business district across from the campus of N.C. State University. The Raleigh Little TTieatre now occupies the
site.
The Agricultural Society developed these grounds at a cost of more than $50,000. The buildings consisted of a three-story octagon-shaped
exhibit hall. 250 feet long and 44 feet deep. There were two wings designed as Fanners and Mechanics Halls. A 200 x 44 foot shed housed
the machinery display and a three-story grandstand, judges' stand and one-half mile of railroad tracks completed the permanent structures.
The offices and dressing rooms were on the first floor of the grandstand. The second deck was the spectators' area, and the third floor was
called "Tete-a-Tete Hall" where one could enjoy a chair and privacy for an extra 25 cents.
By 1885 the Agricultural Society's show and exhibition had become the main annual event among rural Tar Heels.
Politics and reunions were a big part of the fair in 1903. Confederate veterans gathered at the fair and reminisced the big battles and hard
;,times of "65 and "66.

President Theodore Roosevelt spoke to fairgoers in 1905 and was followed in 1907 by William Jennings Bryan. Speech-making was
another major attraction of early fairs. Bryan, the famed "silver-tongued" orator, had already delivered his famous cross of gold speech and
lost two elections. His address to North Carolinians undoubtedly was part of his third unsuccessful race presidency.
The Agricultural Society conducted the State Fair for 73 years. It was discontinued from 1860 through 1866 during the Civil War and
Reconstruction period, and in 1918 during World War I and influenza epidemic. The fair yielded in 1884 to a monthlong "North Carolina
Exposition" held on the fairgrounds.
In 1924 the society requested aid from the state and City of Raleigh. The first State Fair Board was appointed by Governor McLean in
1925 with representatives from the State, City and Agricultural Society. After this, the society disbanded. There was no State Fair in 1926
and 1927. The late Governor J. Melville Broughton succeeded in convincing the Legislature to designate 200 acres of land to the State Fair.
Thus, the State Fair moved in 1928 to its present site with additional land granted in 1952 .
The State Fair was placed under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture in 1930. The various committees continued to operate
the fair until 1933 when the Board of Agriculture leased the fair to George Hamid for operation on a commercial basis.
The late Governor W. Kerr Scott returned the State Fair to the management of the Department of Agriculture in 1937 when he took office
as commissioner of agriculture. That year in excess of $12,000 was paid out in educational exhibitor premiums, and by 1948 this figure had
reached more than $70,000. Currently the figure exceeds $240,000.
Dr. J.S. Dorton of Shelby was appointed manager of the new State Fair, Division of the Department of Agriculture, in 1937. Immediately
the fair was no longer a burden and showed a profit of over $8,000. The profits have increased yearly and have been turned back into i
improvements for buildings and grounds. '
It was in 1948 when entertainment became a big part of the State Fair. James E. Strates Shows has been a regular feature since that time
and during this same year Bascom Lamar Lunsford brought the first Folk Festival, a feature that is still going strong.
The N.C. General Assembly approved funds in the late 40's for construction of a year-round facility to serve agriculture, industry,
commerce and the general welfare of the state. This center for educational, inspirational and recreational events was completed in 1952 and
named the J.S. Dorton Arena. The arena's unique architectural design won it acclaim as one of the significant structures of recent times.
Dr. Dorton died in 1961 and state Agriculture Commissioner L.Y. Ballentine assumed his duties until his death in 1964. It was in 1961
that the fair operated six days for the first time. Robert W. Shoffner, an assistant manager of the fair from 1947 to 1960 was appointed by
James A. Graham to complete production of the '64 fair. Arthur K. Pitzer was named permanent manager in January, 1965 by Commissioner
Graham.
Under guidance of Graham, the N.C. Board of Agriculture, Pitzer's management and experienced staff the fair has continued to grow
and today is considered one of the leading agricultural, industrial and educational fairs in the nation. In 1968 the Board of Agriculture
approved extending the fair's length to nine days beginning in 1969. This set the stage for the 1970's, which was to be a decade of significant
growth.
Four new structures were completed: The Gov. Kerr Scott Building (1972), Crafts Pavilion (1974), Livestock Building (1975) and
Forestry Resources Center (1976). An ambitious grounds improvement program of landscaping, paving, curbing and guttering was
implemented. Work was also begun on Heritage Circle, an area near the fairgrounds lake set aside to highlight cultural history of the state.
One of the first Heritage Circle projects was an authentic 18th century school house donated in 1975 .
A program of popular special exhibits was inaugurated. In 1972 the fair sponsored the world's largest space-related educational exhibit
which was viewed by an estimated 250,000 people. A series of exhibits highlighting different N.C. field commodities each year stirred new
interest and pride in the state's agricultural tradition, particularly among the non-farming public.
Several programs motivated in part by economic concerns of fairgoers were also initiated. In 1970 senior citizens were admitted to the
fair free of charge. The same year the Century Farm Families program was launched.
Efforts to speak to the wishes of the fairgoers paid off handsomely at the gate. Attendance averaged 570,000 in the 1970's. In 1976 the
nine-day event, highlighted with a visit by President Gerald Ford, was attended by 587,000 despite several days of cold and rain. An all-time
attendance mark of more than 705,002 was set in 1987.
The State Fair and grounds operate on a year-round basis. There are 46 permanent employees, 31 of which are maintenance personnel.
Non-fairtime utilization of buildings and grounds increased dramatically in the 1970's as new sales initiatives by management and a
complex of new facilities consisting of the Kerr Scott Building (exhibit hall), the Jim Holshouser Building (crafts pavilion) and Jim Graham
Building (livestock pavilion) made the fairgrounds an active center for entertainment, meetings, expositions and agriculture shows.
The 1978 North Carolina Legislature authorized funds used by the fair to purchase an additional 144 acres of land adjacent to the grounds.
The acquisition brought the fairgrounds to 344 total acres.
President George Herbert Walker Bush addressed fairgoers on October 21, 1992.
In 1983, Sam G. Rand was named fair manager succeeding Art Pitzer who retired. A new horse facility (Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr. Horse
Complex) was opened, housing up to 900 head of horses.
During the years 1984-1993, the following improvements were made: New restroom facilities at Gate 8 and at the Grandstand:
Underground electrical distribution system installed; Refurbishing of permanent lunchstands; New handicapped restrooms in Dorton Arena;
Handicapped parking on fairgrounds; New roof on Scott Building. Graham Building, Dorton Arena, Holshouser Building, Education &
Commercial Building; New roof and seats in Grandstand; Remodeling Hobby & Crafts Building; Remodeling L.R. Harrill Youth Center;
Paving midway area and other parking lots; New outdoor public address system; New storm drainage system; Landscaping around Scott
Building, Holshouser Building, Commercial & Education Building; New box seats in Hunt Horse Complex and new offices and restaurant
addition to Hunt Horse Complex. Renovation of Sam G. Rand Grandstand racetrack to include harness racing; Demolished Industrial and
Poultry Buildings.

pleasures of the patrons. The management will not accept or knowingly allow the continuance of any concession, show or other
aUractions of a questionable nature or a demoralizing tendency nor will any concession be permitted where the business is
conducted in other than a legitimate and legal manner.
Drunkenness, quarreling, or the use of profane or obscene language will not be allowed on the grounds. No begging will be

The management of the State Fair reserves the right to amend, add to and interpret the foregoing and following Rules and
Regulations, and to arbitrarily settle and determine all questions and differences in regard thereto, or otherwise arising out of,

Once an entry is made, it cannot be changed except where it is improperly classed or a mistake has been made in copying the
original entry—in which event the changes can be made only with the permission of the Department Superintendent, or Director
in charge, AND THEN ONLY IN THE OFFICE OF THE "ENTRY SUPERINTENDENT." If the records are altered and do not
conform with the information on file in the Entry Department, payment of premiums will be withheld.

EXHIBITS AND EXHIBITORS
The dates on which your exhibits must be in place at State Fair VARY FROM ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER. These
dates are set out in the Department Headings and Rules and Regulations. Check these dates carefully so you can get your exhibits
IN PLACE AT THE PROPER TIME TO BE JUDGED.
UNCLAIMED EXHIBITS FROM COMPETITIVE DEPARTMENTS, will be considered abandoned if not called for within
one week after the official closing of the Fair, and may be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. SEE SPECIAL RULES
for the Culinary and Horticulture Departments.
Remember! All exhibits must be officially entered in the Fair on official printed forms provided for that purpose, before the
closing date for entries in the department. No article or animal will be entitled to space or considered in the judging until proper
entry has been made. Removal of exhibits before the date and time specified will be cause for forfeit of all premiums won, all fees
paid, and the right to further participation in the Fair.
In all but livestock departments, entries and exhibits will remain in place through the entire fair. Release times are scheduled
for the day following the fair due to the lack of parking available nearby for those to pick up entries or exhibits, and in an effort
to keep vehicles off the grounds during crowded conditions. The regulation will also assure those attending the fair during the
evening of the final day of seeing the same exhibits and entries as those attending earlier.
All exhibits will be numbered and recorded in the books of the proper department and class and exhibit tag with corresponding
numbers will be issued. This tag must be securely attached to the exhibit and must remain on the exhibit throughout the Fair (except
that exhibit tags issued for livestock and poultry may be conspicuously displayed upon the stall, pen or coop). ENTRY TAGS WILL
NOT BE MAILED but will be available, at the Entry Department, Administration Building.
Once the exhibit is numbered and tagged, it should be delivered to the Department Superintendent or Director who will allocate
space and either personally arrange the exhibit in a suitable and attractive display or direct such action by the exhibitor. The State
Fair assumes no responsibility for the incorrect tagging of exhibits.
All exhibitors are urged to personally bring their exhibits to the Fair and enjoy the educational and recreational advantages of
the annual exposition. However exhibits may be shipped or mailed to: N.C. STATE FAIR, 1 025 BLUE RIDGE BLVD.. RALEIGH.
N.C. 27607, and they will be carefully handled, officially entered, tagged, and otherwise treated in the same manner as previously
described. They will be given the same consideration with regard to display and judging as exhibits personally delivered.
All exhibits shipped or mailed MUST BE PREPAID. No transportation charges for express, postage, freight or drayage will
be paid by the Fair. Shipments should be carefully labeled, accompanied by a bill of lading, and properly identified inside and
outside the package as to the department, class and premium number under which they have been previously entered. They should
be shipped or mailed at least a week or 1 days prior to the opening of the Fair. The management will not be responsible for delayed
shipments which arrive at the Fair too late to be considered in the judging.
Division Directors and Department Superintendents will have full authority over allocation of space, and will have direct
supervision of all exhibits which are considered on exhibition as a part of the Fair's attractions, subject to use as these Directors
and Superintendents see fit to add to the educational values of the Fair. Livestock able to be led or driven, or which will follow,
must participate in parades and group exhibitions as directed by the Department Superintendent.
All livestock must be cared for by the exhibitor except as noted in the Junior Dairy Cattle and Market Cattle shows. Stalls and
pens will be furnished bedding before the Fair free of charge. Thereafter exhibitors will be required to furnish their own bedding
and keep all stalls and pens clean. Feed and straw will be sold on the grounds at prevailing prices.
When exhibit tags are issued by the Entry Department for each article entered, a stub with a duplicate number will be given
the exhibitor to serve as his claim check to recover and secure the release of his exhibit. Claim checks should be guarded carefully,
since Department Superintendents and Directors are not allowed to release any exhibit without presentation of the exhibit tag stub.
If the claim check is lost, such loss should be reported promptly and it will be necessary for the exhibitor to furnish the
Superintendent of the Entry Department proof of ownership of the article on exhibit.
Exhibits entered in the premium classes which are not claimed within one week after the close of the Fair will be considered
to have been abandoned by the exhibitor and will be disposed of as the Manager of the Fair sees fit. Other exhibits, materials therein,
including concession booths, which are not claimed by the exhibitor or concessionaire within 30 days after the end of the Fair will
be considered to have been abandoned and will become the property of the State Fair.
The Fair management reserves the right to reject any exhibit which does not reflect merit and which would not be a credit to
both the exhibitor and the Fair. Also, the right is reserved to reject exhibits which are deemed objectionable or unsuitable for
exhibition. All entries are accepted conditionally pending inspection of the article or animal to be exhibited. Any article or animal
which proves to be misrepresented or falsely classed will be rejected and the right of the exhibitor to further participation in the
Fair will be denied.
19
Division Directors, Department Superintendents, and/or Judges must report disqualification of entries to the Manager of the
State Fair immediately after such action is taken. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL JUDGING BE CONSIDERED
OFFICIAL AND PREMIUMS PAID IN A CLASS WHERE DISQUALIRCATION IS RECOMMENDED UNTIL AP-PROVAL
OF THE DISQUALIFICATION(S) IS OBTAINED FROM THE FAIR MANAGER.
Promiscuous advertising is strictly prohibited. Exhibitors may advertise and distribute literature and free samples from their
place of exhibit only, but may not sell any article or animal from their exhibit space without a permit from the manager. The
distribution of advertising matter which conflicts in any manner with a concession sold by the Management is prohibited.
Commercial exhibitors and concessionaires are responsible for keeping the space in and around their exhibits, including
unused space, aisles and roadways, clean and free of rubbish. An area of 10 feet around each exhibit booth and concession stand
must be thoroughly cleaned by the exhibitor or concessionaire at the end of each Fair day. Failure to do so will be cause for
cancellation of contract.
No exhibit space assigned may be shared or sublet without permission of the Fair manager.
JUDGING AND AWARDS
Decision ofthe judges will be final, and no appeal will be considered except in cases of protest in writing, with strong evidence
of fraud or violation of the rules of the Fair. Protests must be filed with the Division Superintendent not later than noon of the
day following the award, and must be accompanied by a protest fee of $5.00 which will be retained by the Fair if the protest is
not sustained. The Division Superintendent will appoint a committee to consider the protest and all interested parties will be
notified of the time of the hearing and will be given an opportunity to be heard. The rules of the International Association of Fairs
and Expositions governing appeals will be those of the North Carolina Fair.
Judges will not award premiums to any article or animal because of its mere presence. It must be individual worthy. It is not
the policy of the Fair to encourage indifferent production of any kind, or to distribute premiums equally among exhibitors. No
premium will be awarded to any exhibit that does not possess high intrinsic merit.
Unless otherwise specified in the Department Rules and Regulations, NO EXHIBITOR MAY WIN MORE THAN TWO
PREMIUMS IN ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL CLASS. AND NOT MORE THAN ONE PREMIUM IN ANY GROUP CLASS.
No exhibitor may accompany judges during their deliberations except such attendants as are necessary to handle and show
livestock and other such exhibits. Any exhibitor attempting to interfere with the judges during their adjudications, or who publicly
expresses disapproval of the decision of the judges, will be excluded from further competition and any premiums previously won
will be forfeited.
Fraud or deception as to breeding, or in any other form, will be exposed and exhibitor guilty of such violation will be excluded
from further participation in the Fair and all premiums previously won will be forfeited.
Premiums will be paid only on the basis of the records of the judging reports, which will be signed by the judge and by the
Department Superintendent or Director. Ribbons will be securely attached to the articles upon which they were awarded, if
possible, but the ribbons have no value in the payment of premiums since they may become detached and find their way on to
the wrong exhibit.
Entries made in wrong classes may be reclassed by the Department Superintendent, BUT ONLY IF SUCH RECLASSIFI-CATION
IS MADE IN THE OFFICE OF. AND WITH THE APPROVAL OF, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE ENTRY
DEPARTMENT. Records must be changed when entries are reclassified. If the records are altered and the entry department files
are not changed, premiums will be withheld.
Judges, when requested, may give the reasons for their decisions embracing the value and desirable qualities of the exhibits
to which they have awarded premiums.
Judges will not award premiums or ribbons to any article or animal that does not qualify for one of the classes in the State
Fair Premium List.
Premiums will be paid to winning exhibitors as soon after the awards are made as it is possible to compile and check all reports.
Premiums not collected during the Fair will be mailed to the exhibitor at the post office address given on his or her entry form.
Errors in premium statements will be corrected until December 1, 1994 after which time the books of the 1994 Fair are closed.
The following colors of ribbons will be used to designate awards:

13. No group or individuals may be assigned the same patio garden plot location more than once every three years.
14. The gardens will be judged, based on the following criteria and scale of points:
A. Design of the entire garden 30%
1. Imagination—A resourceful and creative solution to the aspects of design.
2. Composition—Elements arranged in relation to other elements in the garden and in proper relationship to the garden
sequence and focal point, etc.
3. Unity—The arrangement of all the parts of the garden in such a manner that they constitute a whole, or promote an
undivided total effect.
4. Color Harmony—The arrangement of the various hues, shades, and colors to contribute to a pleasing effect and
unified composition.
B. Design of details 20%
1. Construction—Construction of physical features should give the illusion of reality; for example, if it is supposed
to be a deck, arbor, etc., it should look like one, and should be substantial and functional. It should be large enough to
serve the purpose for which it was designed, within the garden space.
2. Planting - Use permanent planting to develop design. Supplement design with annuals, etc. Take growth habits, light and
water requirements into consideration when selecting plant material. Appropriate plant material will be judged both here
and under functional aspects. It will be more important to give the illusion of an established planting than allowing room
for plant material to grow. Consequently, plant material may be grouped together to give the effect of a larger plant.
3. Accessories - Accessories should be suitable to the area designed and should add to the garden, not dominate or detract from it.
4. Finish Detail - Based on how much attention is paid to finishing touches and fine detail; for example, covering pots
thoroughly with mulch, quality finish construction, well crafted plot plans, etc.
C. Suitability to Site 20%
1. Functional aspects - The garden should be able to be used for the purpose designed. Plant material works together in the
area. Physical features serve the purpose intended. Carry your idea all the way through; for example, if you plan a low
maintenance area, choose a design, plant material and accessories with this in mind. Environmental factors should be
taken in to account, such as sun, shade, and wind protection, etc.
2. Maximum usefulness - The area is developed to its full potential and serves the purpose for which it is designed.
3. Walks and paved areas - Walks should be used within a design context to appear to belong. Walks and paved areas
should be wide enough to be useful and suitable for the purpose they are intended to serve. Walks should either have a
destination or disappear with the illusion of a destination (example behind an appropriate screen or planting).
D. Planting 10%
Consideration shall be given to the quality and variety of plant material.
E. Appearance 20%
Consideration will be given to the overall beauty and visual impact of the garden.

or vegetables will not be awarded for a mere pile or for the greatest number of varieties. BUT MAINLY ON THE BASIS OF QUALITY.
Do not knock or shake fruit from the tree, but pick each specimen by hand, taking care not to pull out the stem. Products should be exhibited
as nearly as possible in their natural state, and no preference will be given for highly polished fruits or vegetables.
Entries of "Commercial" containers of apples and sweet potatoes should be graded to uniform marketable size, high color,
smoothness, trueness to type, freedom from cuts and bruises, and free from insect and fungus blemishes. They should be properly packed
and placed in standard containers.
Entries of "Collections" and under "Any Other Variety" must be correctly named by the exhibitor. In the nomenclature of fruits,
the names adopted by the American Pomological Society shall rule, and no variety will be accepted that has not been admitted to their
catalog, except in the case of seedlings never before exhibited.
Awards and Judging
No award will be made for unworthy specimens, where quality is lacking, or where any of the Rules and Regulations governing these
exhibits are disregarded.
No article entered for competition in any class will be permitted to compete for a premium in any other class. AN EXHIBITOR
CANNOT COMPETE FOR MORE THAT ONE PRIZE IN ANY CLASS.
